Leo Sugrue, MD, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in Residence at the University of California, San Francisco in the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging. He received his medical degree from The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 2007. In 2008, he completed his PhD in Neuroscience from Stanford University School of Medicine in California, where he completed a one-year internal medicine internship the same year. In 2009, Dr. Sugrue finished a post-doctoral fellowship at Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Stanford University, and in 2013 he completed a four-year Diagnostic Radiology residency at UCSF. Dr. Sugrue finished a five-month mini-fellowship in diagnostic neuroradiology in 2013, followed by an ACGME Neuroradiology fellowship in the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging at UCSF in 2014.

Dr. Sugrue’s interests focus on using electrophysiological and imaging-based tools to study the brain networks responsible for decision making and cognition, developing imaging biomarkers to diagnose and treat neuropsychiatric disease, and targeting and evaluating brain stimulation and brain-machine interface technologies. In September 2014, he accepted the position of Assistant Professor in Residence in Neuroradiology at UCSF.
